Atlases

Two charts, four ways of reading a record.

The atlases are free to look at. Each name on the historical charts and on the current Congress chart has a written page. The 2026 chart is different on purpose: those dots are party programs, explained in the article on the federal elections, not personal voting records.

  • World leadersHeads of government, placed from the public governing record. Extremes are marked and are not recommendations.
  • United StatesThe sitting Congress from roll calls, presidents and former members from the governing record, and the 2026 federal field from party programs.

How the numbers were chosen is on the methodology page.

World leaders and U.S. presidents

Both sets on one chart. Ink is a head of government. Blue is a U.S. president. Brown is a historical extreme, plotted for scale, not as a recommendation. A person who is both can sit on the same point. Tap again to switch which record you are reading.

Pinch or scroll to zoom slowly. Drag to move. Reset shows the full chart.
